The secret of Sufism is that it has no secret at all'.

A king who feared wasps once decreed that they were abolished. As it happened, they did him no harm. But he was eventually stung to death by scorpions.

The union of the mind and intuition which brings about illumination, and the development which the Sufis seek, is based upon love.

When people have a hard task to do - one which stretches them - they become less concerned with trivial matters.

Prescribing hard work for the soft, or easy work for the hardy, is generally nonsense. What is always needed in any aim is right effort, right time, right people, right materials.

The Sufi is One who does not care when something is taken from him, but who does not cease to seek for what he has not.

You are adrift while you still think that a means is an end.
